Phylogenomics of the Maverick virus-like mobile genetic elements of vertebrates by Barreat, JGN, Katzourakis, A

“…Mavericks are virus-like mobile genetic elements found in the genomes of eukaryotes. …”

Controls on the Cd-isotope composition of Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian–Turonian) organic-rich mudrocks from south Texas (Eagle Ford Group) by Sweere, TC, Dickson, AJ, Jenkyns, HC, Porcelli, D, Ruhl, M, Murphy, MJ, Idiz, E, van den Boorn, SHJM, Eldrett, JS, Henderson, GM

“…It is unclear, however, how the Cd-isotope composition of the sedimentary record reflects these processes. In this study, new Cd-isotope data are presented, along with δ13C, and Cd, Mo and TOC concentrations, from organic-rich mudrocks from the southern Western Interior Seaway (WIS), spanning the Cenomanian–Turonian stages within the Eagle Ford Group of the Maverick Basin, Texas, USA. …”

Evolutionary analysis of placental orthologues reveals two ancient DNA virus integrations by Nino Barreat, JG, Katzourakis, A

“…In particular, <em>Mavericks</em> have emerged as one of the oldest groups of endogenous viruses infecting vertebrates (≥419 million years [My]). …”
